Rochdale

We are delighted to be able to share that the Charities Aid Foundation, the organisation that leads Giving Tuesday here in the UK, has launched a £5 million Coronavirus Emergency Fund for small charities and organisations as they battle the effects of the coronavirus.

During these uncertain times, we know that grassroot community groups are responding to the impact of Covid-19 through kindness, coming together to help those most affected however they can.
To support these local responses, Forever Manchester is offering awards of up to £1,000.

Community Support Fund Criteria

The Community Support Fund will accept applications from community groups based in any of the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester. We want to fund organisations who are supporting their communities however they can.

http://www.greggsfoundation.org.uk/grants/local-community-projects-fundNot-for-profit organisations can apply for grants of up to £2,000 for projects working to reduce disadvantage experienced by the most deprived people in the community such as the disabled, those living in poverty, voluntary carers and isolated older people.

The funds objectives are:

Registered charities in England and Wales can apply for funding for projects that help disadvantaged and disengaged young people in England and Wales.

There is no minimum or maximum amount and projects can be funded for more than one year.

The fund will provide up to £50,000 to support projects that

Based on national and international research, Rochdale now delivers a group intervention programme; Break4Change (B4C).

B4C is an adolescent family violence intervention programme designed to address young people’s violence and abuse towards parents/carers. The aim of B4C is for young people to stop the violence and abuse toward their family and develop respectful family relationships so that all members feel safe at home.

Recognise volunteers in the charity sector.

Room to Reward is a unique volunteer-recognition charity created to say ‘thank you’ to the Hidden Heroes – inspirational volunteers who give up their time to make a difference to those who need it most.

Partner hotels donate their unsold rooms, charities and community groups nominate their Hidden Heroes for a break – Room to Reward make it happen!

The charity launched in 2015 and since then some 220 hotels have joined the scheme. It aims to reallocate unsold rooms to "hidden heroes" who work to help others.
